A report claims that Manchester United will move for Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann in next summer's transfer window.

Manchester United will reportedly launch a big-money move for Antoine Griezmann next summer.

The France international, who was the top scorer at Euro 2016 earlier this summer, has netted 57 times in 108 appearances for Atletico Madrid since making the move to the Vicente Calderon in 2014.

A number of clubs are believed to be monitoring Griezmann's situation at Atletico, but according to Bleacher Report, Man United are the frontrunners and will make their move in the summer of 2017.

The same report claims that Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho has identified Griezmann as the perfect replacement for Wayne Rooney, whose position in the first team is expected to be under constant discussion throughout this season.

Griezmann netted 32 times in 54 appearances for Atletico last season, which represented his best ever scoring campaign.
